As the global Covid pandemic recedes further into the past, business aviation traffic in Southeast Asia has seen a strong rebound. In Singapore, business aircraft departures from Changi and Seletar airports last year rose to nearly 28 percent above 2019 levels, according to industry data tracker WingX Advance.

“Traveling habits have returned to pre-Covid levels with demands in business aviation traffic continuing to rise,” explained Faizal Khan, Jet Aviation’s director of FBO operations in Singapore. “This is also aided by Singapore’s strategic role and location in the Asia-Pacific region.”
